Two directors are in talks to helm the remake of Clive Barker's 1987 horror hit Hellraiser, reports claim.

According to Bloody-Disgusting.com, Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury - directors of the forthcoming film Inside - are being lined up to bring Pinhead back to the big screen.

Inside sparked controversy at the Cannes and Toronto film festivals with its story of a pregnant widow stalked by a woman (played by Beatrice Dalle) who wants to remove her unborn child.

Barker, who is writing and producing the remake, has said it will be much scarier than the original and will not be "simply a reworking or reshooting of the first picture".
